If we shadows have offended

"Listen
If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber’d here while these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend: if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck, If we have unearned luck, Now to ’scape the serpent’s tongue, We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends."
- William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream (yes I know I didn't put it in the right form but I needed to make it short).

One of my favorite Shakespeare quotes! Why'd I start with this quote? Here's the dealio. So last night I was talking to someone about my recent post about Emily and Luke, which got some attention on facebook. First off, THANK YOU to all who read it, liked it, and commented on it! I was expecting "Wow that's cheesy" responses, especially from my sister, which made her comment even nicer. But just to clarify, while I love the "aww you're so sweet" responses and will take them any day, I wasn't fishing for that. I also didn't mean to reveal any stories that were personal and not supposed to be told. I was just calling things like I saw it, honest. That's what I'm trying to do on this blog, not fishing for "you're awesome Katherine" comments. SO the lucky ones in the story isn't me and my blog, it's my sister and her fiance. That said, if you want to comment on the note, go right ahead :-).

Anyway last night this person made a really good point - technically I have been saying things about people on here without their permission, via the "thanks for the memories" series and the post about Em and Luke. SO if you feel like I have said something about you that you don't want revealed in a blog, I sincerely apologize (seriously, I mean that). Let me know - message me, call me, etc. - and I will take it down, I promise. My intention was not to embarrass anyone or reveal anything personal. I just wanted to say that I was thankful for everyone that's influenced my life. Also, if I have posted something that you think I shouldn't have about myself - something that might hurt a job search or a friendship - let me know and I'll take it into consideration. Keep in mind that if you just disagree with an opinion I post, comment and tell me it, but you may not change your mind. But if I've said something that could hurt my life I appreciate the warning anyone gives me.

Look, like I've said before I'm trying not to turn this blog into a whine-fest, a constant vent, or something to talk about people, ESPECIALLY the ones that mean a lot to me. But this is a personal blog. I guess it's kinda like you guys are getting a peak into my personal diary (though I won't go into detail about some personal stuff). So I'm going to write about my life, what's happening in it, and what I think. Now my writing freedom ends where your nose starts, so if you don't want something out there I wrote, let me know. But otherwise, you kinda gotta grin and bear wtih me - I'm still figuring out this whole blog thing, what works, what doesn't.

So if I've made you uncomfortable with the "Thanks for the memories" stuff, I'm sorry. It's almost over, I promise. If I've made you uncomfortable iwth something else, I'm sorry. But hopefully it helps you understand me a little better.

Crazy life... what can I say...
